01 SIGNAL ORIGIN [ decoded ]

I build systems that carry messages where networks give up — relays that queue through outages, beacons that run a year on a coin cell, audio that stays intelligible through 40% packet loss. Every number here is measured on real links, and most of the work happens in the open.

"He treats rural networks like civic infrastructure, because they are. His relay design doubled our field-device battery life."— Zoya Mirza, Product Lead, Fernbank Networks
"The acidification warning system he built gave our biologists six days of lead time. Six days is a season in this field."— Kavya Menon, Marine Data Director, Peregrine Deep
